Blackbody emission such as the emission from incandescent sources usually possesses a broadband emission spectrum covering the whole infrared wavelength range. Most of emission energy goes into the unwanted infrared range and consequently causes low emission efficiency. Recently, metasurfaces with two-dimensional subwavelength artificial nanostructures have been widely studied due to their flexibility in modulating optical properties, thus providing an ideal platform for controlling thermal emission. The use of synthetic dimension methods in metasurfaces has opened up new avenues for fine-tuning thermal emission, especially highlighting the physical properties beyond traditional three-dimensional systems and rich topological physics. Although it is theoretically possible to explore physical phenomena through complete three-dimensional structures, such structures are difficult to construct in practice. In contrast, studying one-dimensional system or two-dimensional system is more feasible and efficient. The synthetic dimension approach introduces the possibility of manipulating intrinsic degrees of freedom in photon systems by introducing structural or physical parameters. In this work, we propose utilizing synthetic dimension methods to achieve wavelength-selective thermal emission. Firstly, we construct synthetic Weyl point in a superlattice model and validate it theoretically. Subsequently, experimental characterization of synthetic Weyl cones is conducted by using angle-resolved thermal emission spectroscopy (ARTES). The experimental results demonstrate that we can achieve reasonable wavelength-selective thermal emission while suppressing emission at other wavelengths as much as possible. This is essential for practical infrared applications such as thermalphotovoltaics and thermal management devices.
